Speaking on Thursday, Mr Chaudhry’s grief-stricken dad Istfar Iqbal, 40, said: ‘It was his BMW – he had just bought it brand new. He has only had it about two weeks. He was just a happy little lad. He was so happy – he had friends everywhere. He was a polite and quiet lad.

‘I used to say to him, “Don’t stay out too long because you don’t want to be getting into trouble”. He was only young. He was my only son and I am heartbroken.’

Shopkeeper Mohammed Rashid, 51, who lives 500 yards from the crash scene, said: ‘The lads are great and very decent kids, very polite and were well known around these parts.

‘They all come in to my shop, I saw them as customers, not on a personal level. It’s very sad, I feel sorry for the parents.’
